- Unladylike £13.88 - From the creators of the Unladlyike podcast comes this fantastic book. It's beautifully illustrated and full of colourful graphs etc, There is a mix of statistics showing how patriarchy is still around but also shows examples of all the incredible women in the world and what they are doing to stop it. I feel like this essential reading for any female and it is packaged up gorgeously.
- Feminists Don't Wear Pink £7.00 - This is a book that I picked up because Topshop were meant to have a pop up in their store selling this, but deemed it too controversial, which in my opinion just proves that we need more books like this. There is a selection of essays in here from many notable women that are split into themes such as anger and joy. The essays are incredibly well written and I would even recommend this to teenage girls as a place to start because there are many famous personalities in here too.
- Good Night Stories For Rebel Girls £10 - I've shared my love of this one before. Aimed at a younger audience it features loads of women. They each have a double page spread with a summary of what they have achieved and a gorgeous illustration to go along with it. Not just for the younger audience, I found this very inspiring too.
- How to be Successful Without Hurting Mens Feelings £7.20 - A very tongue in cheek look that i think many female professionals in the workplace sometimes feel like they have to act. Once again, great illustrations which show that sadly, inequality is still quite prominent in the work place.
- New Erotica For Feminists £7.19 - Seriously this book is fricking hilarious and would make the perfect stocking filler. It's small in size with a stunning cover but here is an example of what you will find inside 'He calls me into his office and closes the door.... to promote me. He promotes me again and again. I am wild with ecstasy.' Brilliant.
- How to Own the Room £9.35 - I am slightly cheating with this pick as it's actually something I picked up for myself, but this would also make a great gift at Christmas for any girl bosses you know. As the title suggests it's a book on how to get over the nerves and anxiety of public speaking and really own the room. I'm excited to get reading this!
As I mentioned I loved writing this blog post. I love being inspired by other women and hopefully in turn going out and inspiring others too. Will you be picking any of these up? Or are there any others you would recommend?
These are perfect for my niece's, incredible gift guide
ReplyDeleteWhat some great gift ideas, I love getting stuck into a good book, but I can't read anymore so I am trying to get more into audio books I wonder if I can pick up any of these in that format.
ReplyDeleteShamefully I've never read any of these! I've heard good things about a few of them though. They'd make cracking gifts too! :)

This guide is fab! I haven't read any of these so definitely adding them to my list. If you want to try some books by baddass inspiring women then I can highly recommend Bossypants by Tina Fey and Yes Please by Amy Poehler, both are hilarious and inspiring. :)

Gosh I've been looking for a blog post like this for ages, as I've been meaning to read some feminist books. I'm really intrigued by "Feminists don't wear pink"!
ReplyDeleteLizzie Bee // Hello Lizzie Bee
I love these recommendations! I read and enjoyed Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud by Anne Helen Petersen, which I think would fit in nicely with the rest of these.
ReplyDeleteI want all of these books! You've really made me want New Erotica for feminists :) I'm trying to resist buying it!
